In Alero, many girls drop out because they lack menstrual hygiene support, putting their education and safety at risk. This project keeps girls in school, protects their rights, and gives them a safe path to a brighter future. Your support will turn lost potential into educated leaders who can transform their communities.
In Alero Sub-County, Nwoya District, over 1,750 schoolgirls lack access to safe, affordable menstrual products. Many miss 3-5 school days monthly, leading to poor performance and dropout. Cultural stigma, inadequate school washrooms, and use of unsafe materials worsen the problem, increasing child marriage risk. Improving menstrual hygiene will keep girls in school, protect their rights, and break cycles of poverty.
This project will keep 1,750 girls in schools by addressing menstrual hygiene gaps. We'll hold stakeholder meetings, form school Menstrual Hygiene Committees, and sensitize 583 community members on girls' rights. Girls will be trained on menstrual hygiene and to make reusable pads, with training pads provided for urgent needs. Follow-up and monitoring will ensure lasting change, improved attendance, and dignity for all beneficiaries.
This project will help 1,750 girls in Alero stay in school by ending period shame and lack of pads. Girls will learn to make reusable pads, and 583 community members will understand and support their rights. Over time, fewer girls will drop out or marry early, more will finish school, and families will have less poverty. Educated girls will lift the whole community, bringing lasting health and income benefits.
